The celebrations to mark the Queen’s Jubilee get off to a flying start this weekend with a special Jubilee Picnic and colour themed fancy dress at Bootham Junior School.

“What better way to start the holiday weekend!” said Dr Sue Pattison, Head Teacher at the Independent, Quaker School. “There will be a big community tea party on the sports field, complete with bunting and everyone dressed in red, white and blue,” she continued, “we have devised quizzes on the kings and queens of England. We’ll be singing songs from the last sixty years, plus a special rendition of ‘God Save the Queen’ – with extra ‘House points’ for anyone who can remember all three verses!”
